[G]
Many, many years ago [D] when I was 23
I was married to a widow [G] who was pretty as can be
This widow [E] had a grown-up [Am] daughter who had hair of red
[A] My father fell in love with her [D] and soon they too were wed
[G] This made my dad my son-in-law [D] and really changed my life
And now my daughter was my mother [G] because she was my father's wife
And to complicate [E] the matter, [Am] even though it brought me joy
[A] I soon became the father of [D] a bouncing baby boy
[A] [D] [G]
My little baby then became [D] a brother-in-law to dad
And so became my uncle, [G] though it made me very sad
For if he [E] were my uncle, [Am] then that also made him brother
[A] Of the widow's grown-up daughter, who was [D] of course my stepmother
[Eb] [Ab] Father's wife then had a son [Eb] who kept him on the run
And he became my grandchild [Ab] for he was my daughter's son
My wife is [F] now my mother's mother [Bb] and it makes [Bbm] me blue
[Bb] Because although she is my wife, [Eb] she's my grandmother too
[E] Now [A] if my wife is my grandmother, [E] then I'm her grandchild
And every time I think of it, [A] it nearly drives me wild
Because now I have [Gb] become the [Bm] strangest face you ever saw
[B] As husband of my grandmother, [E] I am my own grandpa
[A] Oh, I am [E] my own [A] grandpa
[D] Grandpa
[E] Funny
[A] I know, but [D] it really is so
[A] [E] [A] Grandpa
